"sentiments" that ^mighl have been far

Nevertheless, the adroit and unscrupul-ous
tactics of radicalism turn everything
to account, and The TMbune even makes
capital out of Helper's "Nojoqne." It
says : "Careless, easy people say the Re-publican

Slavery being abolished, it may now give
place to other organizations, based on
fresh and living issues.*' "Helper," it
exclaims, "shows the futility and peril of
Buch calculations," and that the "disap-pearance"
of the Republican party "would
involve the whole, land in anarchy and
bloodshed through a warfare of race upon
race." This, too, from the organ of a par-ty
which has done all in its power to al-ienate
the races and establish perpetual
hate between them! Yet, this device of
Tin Tribton is of a piece with the prose-cutions

A SLANDKR REFUTED.—It having been
telegraphed to the radical press of the
North that the mills of the Bladen Land
Company, (northern men) were malicious-ly
burnt by Southerners the other day, the
York Trl- proprietors have published a card denying
the statement. The fire occurred near
mid-day, and was the result of carelessness
or accident. The Card concludes in the
following language: "I have never dis-covered
any disposition on the part of the
citizens of Bladen county, or any other
part-of North Carolina, to discourage our
own or any other northern enterprise. On

always had an antipathy to negroes and
mulattoes. Helper realises the fate ol Dr.
Franklin's little boy who helped to grind

regarding his signing the bail bond.
MISCEGISATION.—Tho marriage of a
white man to a colored woman in l-'ayette-ville
a few days ago, seems to create some
excitement. It is said Gen. Sickles forced
the marriage. We hope nothing abortive
will result from this forced match. A
black man applied to our County Clerk the
other day for a license to marry a white
woman; but the .Clerk did not feel au-thorized
to grant it—another instance of

A New Railroad Scheme-
To the Editors of the RichmondZHsjmtch:
Gentlemen,—Some tiffie since I reluc-tantly
gave a promise to a friend to write a
letter for publication on the subject ol the
Chesapeake an J Ohio railroad, now occu-pying
so much of the pulilic attention in
Virginia ami West Virginia. This road is
designed to connect the tide-water of Vir-ginia
with the Ohio river at the mouth of
Sandy, at the Kentucky line. The navi-gation
of the Ohio river from this point to
Cincinnati is about the same as the navi-gation
from Cincinnati to the mouth of the
< >hio, which is not much interrupted by
ice or low water at seasons in which heavy
commercial articles are handled.
My reluctance to write the letter asked
for grows out of the fact that I fear the
scheme for the railroad now contemplated
is not commensurate with the great object
it ought to accomplish.
Nature has indicated the route from the
Atlantic by the courses of the James to
the waters of the Kanawba, and thence to
the Ohio, as the natural aideasy route for
conveying the commerce of the Mississippi
valley to the Atlantic otjfrii. From the
mouth of the Dig SaiiiJ^ or Kentucky
line, to tide-water in Virginia is about
400 miles. This whole distance can be- tra-versed
by a railroad from west to east with
a maximum grade of less than thirty feet to
the mile. SlO other passage can be found
in the United States combining equal
shortness of distance and easy grade from
tide-water to convenient navigation in the
great western valley. Tins ought to be
a national thoroughfare, created by the
nation for the accomodation of the com-merce
of the great sections of the country.
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Western Ten-nessee,
Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Wis-consin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, and
Nebraska, have in fact as great interest
in tliis work as Virginia und West vir-

plish tho reduction offreights in an inverse
ratio somewhat corresponding to the in-creased
capacity of the road."
These data are given by scientific men
who have paid great attention to the sub-ject.
I have no doubt that their practi-cability
may be nearly approximated, and
that freight may be carried from the mouth
of the Sandy, on the -Ohio river, to tide-water
in Virginia, at a cost of less than
four dollars per ton. This would be forty

estimated that to build and eqaip this road
the cost will not exceed $50,000 per mile,
which for 400 miles would be 120,000,000.
Admit that the cost would be *3O,0O0,C0O.
To raise this money it is proposed that the
United States shall issue its bonds for the
amount necessary. The road can be con-structed
in three years. Interest upon a
part of this mbney would have to be paid
during that time. When the road shall
be completed, in addition to the working
expenses there should be collected from
freight an amount sufficient to pay the
interestana one per cent, as a sinking fond.
This sinking fund would pay the whole
cost of'he road in thirty-four years. As
the work is national, this should be all the
charge upon freight. The interest might

work it on the freight principle—all trains
running at equal spied, say not t<> exceed
ten miles per hour. It is estimated that
the Erie canal, worked day and night, has
only a tonnage capacity for 8,000,000 tons
for seven motfths and a half ol the year,
being frozen the residue of the year. That
is 4,000,000 each way; and this is based

the resources of this great iron centre may-be
estimated when we see the vast amount
of iron ore shipped from the iron moun-tain

be smelted in the iurnances between Pittt-burg
and Wheeling, on the Onio river.—
This road will be furnished with fuel from
the inexhaustible coal-fields through which
it passes. If the agricultural products of
the west and returning freights from the
east are not sufficient to furnish freight to
the full capacity of this road, the coals ol
the Kanaha will furnish annually millions
of tons, which can be brought to tide-wa-ter
at a cost of 1*88 than tour dollars per
ton, including mining and transportation.
The only deposits of pood canal coal in
the United States are found in the Kanaw-ba
valley, a little over three hundred miles
from tide-water. This coal is worth from
twelve to twenty dollars per ton in Atlan-tic
cities.

enlarge on this subject. I have only pre-sented

addresses itself to the mature considera-tion

it only heeds to be brought to the atten-tion
of the country to secure its comple-tion.

Tlie following description which be gives
of the negro, is not too high wrought lor
his venom against the race :
"Strikingly apparent it is that the negro
is a fellow of many natural defects and de-formities.
The wretched race to which
he belongs exhibits, among its several
members more cases of lusus natura than
any other. Seldom, indeed, is he to be
seen except as a preordained embodiment
of uncouth grotesquenees, malformation,
or ailments. Not only is he cursed with
a black complexion, an apish aspect, and a
wooliy head ; he is also rendered odious by
an intolerable stench, a thick skull and
booby brain. An accurate description of
him calls into requisition a larger number
of uncomplimentary terms than is neces-sary
to be used in describing any other
creature out of tophet; and it is truly as-tonishing
